10:44p	Pumpiverse community update Earlier this week, pump.io creator Evan Prodromou announced that, due to budget and time pressures, he was looking to move pump.io into a community-governed project structure. "Ideally, what I'd like to do is transfer the copyrights, domains and data to a non-profit that could collect donations to keep the servers running. Budget-wise, it's about $5K/year, including servers, domain registration, and SSL certs. It'd also be great if some of the people who have been sending in pull requests could start working on the software directly. There are a lot of PRs backed up." Subsequently, interested community members met to hash out a plan, and have now reported their plans. Pump.io will apply to be a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy, and Prodromou has started granting administrative and commit privileges to several other developers. It is not yet clear how maintenance for Prodromou's current crop of pump.io servers will be handled, but the community does appear to be coalescing into a more active project. (Comment on this)
